Coordinator's Message:  

It is my pleasure to convey that, our Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) was established in the year 2014. The Cell has been functioning as integral part of our Academic and Administrative activities. Post NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council) assessment, the IQAC has geared up and has extended its support for all the Academic and Administrative affairs of our College. As you are aware that, NAAC, Bangalore has made certain changes in the format of SSR/RAR and changed weightages of all seven criteria and focuses more on “Quality Policy” and creation of “Quality Benchmarks”. Thus, expectations from IQAC have been increased and have a key role in the “Governance” and “Management” of the College/Institution. All the higher education institutions (HEIs) are expected to maintain quality. The idea of quality is not new, nor that of Quality Assurance (QA). There are different approaches to quality assurance. Quality is a concept; it is a philosophy; it is a journey; it is also what we practice. Quality for us is all of these and much more. Therefore today the most important fact is “Quality in a service is not what you put into it. It is what the student gets out of it.”

         The IQAC is meant for planning, guiding and monitoring Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Enhancement (QE) activities of the HEIs. The IQAC may channelize and systematize the efforts and measures of an institution towards academic excellence. It should not be yet another hierarchical structure or record-keeping exercise in the institution; it would be a facilitative and participative organ of the institution. The IQAC should become a driving force for ushering in quality by working out intervention strategies to remove deficiencies and enhance quality. In this regard the role of IQAC at Krishna Chandra College is important.

Functions: 

Some of the functions of the IQAC are:
•    Development and application of quality benchmarks/ parameters for the various academic and administrative activities of the Institution.
•    Dissemination of information on the various quality parameters of higher education.
•    Organization of workshops, seminars on quality related themes and promotion of quality circles.
•    Documentation of the various Programmes/activities leading to quality improvement.
•    Preparation of the Annual Quality Report (AQAR) to be submitted to NAAC based on the quality parameters.
•    Ensuring timely, efficient and progressive performance of academic, administrative and financial tasks.
•    Optimization and integration of modern methods of teaching, learning and evaluation.
